PISCES-S: Partnership in Securing Cyberspace through Education and Service

该计划为具有不同背景的学生提供机会，成为计算机安全和信息保障（CSIA）专业人员，并帮助保护我们国家信息基础设施的安全。谁是CSIA国际公认的专家教授，其中一些人有超过三十年的教学经验，这种材料和生产在CSIA培训的毕业生，教育学生在这个程序。使用传统的计算实验室资源沿着与新开发的资源，如战斗实验室，学生将接触到动手演示和经验，是在CSIA教育的前沿，适合在信息保障教育学术卓越的NSA指定中心（CAE/IAE），如乔治华盛顿大学（GW）。在这项提案中，GW与Gallaudet大学和Marymount大学合作，将CSIA教育机会扩大到华盛顿特区的公民，并通过华盛顿大都会区的11名大学联盟利用学生课程的优势和可访问性。这一伙伴关系还扩大了传统上代表性不足的群体在加勒比岛屿行动中的参与。Gallaudet是世界上唯一一所将聋人，重听和听力正常的学生和教师聚集在一起共同追求教育的大学。1986年以前，玛丽蒙特是一所女子学院，现在是一所男女同校的文科院校，女生占学生总数的70%。

This program provides opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds to become Computer Security and Information Assurance (CSIA) professionals and to help protect the safety and security of our nation's information infrastructure. Professors who are internationally recognized specialists in CSIA, some of whom have over thirty years experience teaching this material and producing graduates trained in the CSIA, educate students in this program. Using traditional computing lab resources along with newly developed resources such as a battle lab, students will be exposed to hands-on demonstrations and experience that are on the cutting edge of CSIA education, as befits an NSA-designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) such as The George Washington University (GW). In this proposal, GW is partnering with Gallaudet University and Marymount University to expand CSIA education opportunities to citizens of the Washington DC area and to capitalize on the strength and accessibility of courses available to students through the eleven-member Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. This partnership also broadens the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in CSIA. Gallaudet is the world's only university that brings together deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students and faculty in the common pursuit of education. Marymount, until 1986 a women's college, is now a coeducational liberal arts institution with women making up 70% of its students.
